Care of Potatoe Fields.

Hoe potatoes early and often. There
is no plant cultivated that will respond
more readily to or pay better for clean
culture, and frequent stirring of the soil
than this. Run the cultivator through
them often, and run it shallow. There
is no call for deep working. What is
wanted now is to keep the surface clean.
The hilling may be done later or as the
plants get larger. There is no crop
grown among us that is so frequently
neglected as is the potato. 1t is no un-
common thing in travelling across the
country in the fall of the year to see
fields so infested with weeds that it re-
quires careful attention to discover the
tops of the potatoes among them. Every
one knows that it is not possible to Sc
cure bountiful crop under such CON
ditions.
Just how much potatoes should be
hilled In the final hoeing depends some
what on the condition of the land. The
tubers must have mellow soil to expand
in. If the soil has been well plowed,
and deeply and thoroughly stirred before
planting, moderate hilling is all that
is called for. 1t is far the better
course to have the land properly
prepared before planting. When this is
done and the after culture is what it
should be-clean and frequent-the po-
tato becomes sure crop, and usually a
profitable one.
There is no room, however for slack
work and indifferent care where good
crops are wanted, The old practice OF
''once hoeing' will not answer now.
The varieties now raised must be grown
quickly, and to do this they must have
high culture, and must be kept clean -

A National Industry.

There is a manufacturing establishment
near Chicago that makes buttons from
blood, utilizing about %, 600 gallons of
blood from the slaughter houses daily.
When We look abroad and realize that
every time human man tries 10 pin his
collar or suspender ne sheds enough of
the raw material TO make a dozen but
tons, there seems to be no rational nc
cessity for all this useless efusion Of gore.

4 Very WO,lanly Incident.

/ saw avery wOmanly bit in q horse car
one day not long ago. Two ladies'. both
we'll bred women If the world looking
creatures, entered at the same time from,
opposite sides Of the street. They sat
down and paid their fares III the lofty way
usual with women Of their kind Their
one seemed to start, and her eyes fastened
upon II big bunch of daisies tlc other had.
Once or twice she turned away. h,,t senti-
mcnt got the better of her, and she spoke
out in the most childish way: "Oll, tell
me, are the daisies out in the country:'
The other smiled coolly and said, ''Oh,
ycs!'
Then the first woman turned away anf
! her eyes filed hrinnning full. Then the
tears ran over, and she had to wipe then,
away. by this time was interested to
see how it was coming ont. No. 2 ap-
parently did not see it, but looked out of
the window and at the daisies with perfect
unconcern. Then she aignalcd the con-
ductor to stop the car AS she got up she
quickly divided the bunch; laid them be-
side the other. ''We both love them. Lee
us share them.' she said, and got out ol
the car. Now, wasn't that pretty. and
wasn't it rare: Indeed it was.-Ncw Norl

And Married to Her But a Month-Pros
poets for a Divorce Suit.
ANN ARBoR, MICH, Jan. 2S.-This is 8
curious case of mans not being able to
identify his own wife. On December 16
John Austin McHale and Harriet Bennett
were married. After three days of welded
hiss the wife left for Detroit, leaving her
Frank behind as security for board bill.
McHale is an Englishman, short, deaf and
wears glasses. He has been all over the
country, and came to the hospital here
for treatment, afterward working as a
compositor in the Argus office. On De-
cember % Robert Schirer and Belle Ben
nett were married, she then going to
work waiting on table in boarding
house. ~
After McHale's spouse let him he went
to board at the house where this second
bride was working, and thought that the
girl who waited on him was his wife, but
was not positive about it: the two resem-
bled each other so remarkably. The girl
would not recognize him, however, but
when he discovered that she had gold
watch exactly like the one his wife had he
was no longer in doubt, and has now
made up his mind to sue for divorce.
The outcome of divorce case in which
the husband is not able to identify his
own wife will be watched with much in
terest.
